Summary
Roger Swanson is an OT/IT specialist and electronics technician with over two decades of hands-on experience bridging IT, OT, and industrial control systems to deliver secure, operationally resilient outcomes. He has built and scaled MSP/MSSP platforms, led multi-million-dollar industrial technology rollouts, and designed SIEM-driven threat mitigation programs while holding CISSP, CISM and other security certifications. A former Navy submarines electronics technician who later founded and sold a successful MSP, Roger blends deep component-level electronics expertise with strategic cybersecurity and program leadership. He has repeatedly accelerated time-to-value—reducing onboarding cycles by 60% in enterprise settings—and has directed academic CAE-CD program development to align workforce training with NICE work roles. Based in Fort Myers, he pairs pragmatic field know-how (calibrating transducers and repairing logging truck racks to 10,000 psi) with board-level customer success and C-suite technical liaison experience, making him equally effective in the lab, the field, and the boardroom.
